This study investigates convergent influence on Self Factors(SF), Stress Factors(STF), Resilience & Control Factors(RCF), Test Anxiety(TA), Learning Flow(LF) and academic burnout among Health College Students in TOEIC class(HCST). The survey was administered to 291 HCST from 1 college located in J area during the period from April 3, 2017 to April 14, 2017. The structured self-administered questionaries were used. With the analysis of covariance structure, we could confirm relationship among the six factors such as SF, STF, RCF, TA, LF and academic burnout. The results of the study indicate that the efforts, to manage these factors, are required to decrease the academic burnout of HCST. Squared multiple correlations, which explain the academic burnout related with the stress from economic pressure and job seeking, test anxiety, learning flow and self factors, were 98.8%. The results are expected to be useful for the development of TOEIC learning curriculum and course to decrease the academic burnout of HCST. In the following study, the analysis about additional factors of influence on academic burnout will be needed.

This study was conducted to examine the mediating effect of executive function deficiencies on the relationship between smartphone addiction and memory impairment and to suggest treatment implications for adults with smartphone addiction symptoms. For this study, 300 adults(146 males and 154 females) were conducted smartphone addiction scale, Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale-Short Form(BDEFS-SF), and Multifactorial Memory Questionnaire(MMQ). The results are as follows. First, correlation analyses showed that smartphone addiction, executive function deficiencies, and memory impairment were positively correlated. Second, Smartphone addiction group showed significantly higher scores on all of the subfactors of executive function and memory impairment. Third, Stepwise regression analyses revealed that self-organization/problem solving, self-management to time, self-restraint, and withdrawal were the best predictors of memory impairment. Forth, Executive function deficiencies fully mediated the relationship between smartphone addiction and memory impairment. These findings were considered to suggest that treatment programs for smartphone addiction group needed to include training for cognitive improvement such as executive function rehabilitation.

This study was conducted on 236 dental hygienists to find ways to improve patient education by identifying their concern in preventive care, their level of prevention management knowledge, and their impact on patient education by mediating their prevention-related knowledge. It was found that the prevention care concern, prevention knowledge and patient education of dental hygienists have a significant correlation, the higher the prevention care concern, the better the patient education, the better the prevention care knowledge, the better the prevention management knowledge, the better the patient education. The regression analysis and Sobel verification were conducted in order to identify a mediating effect of the preventive care knowledge on the influence that the level of concern on preventive dental care affects the patient education. Therefore, it was confirmed that the level of concern on preventive dental care has not only a direct effect and an indirect effect. Based on the results of this study, it is believed that the preventive education effect of patients will be even higher if institutional support is supported along with the attention of dental hygienists on preventive work and education for preventive knowledge content.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the actual condition and effectiveness of orthodontic treatment among some dental hygienists and students. This study was carried out from September to December, 2016 to describe the purpose of the study and the method of writing the questionnaire for some dental hygienists and students. The final 430 sections were analyzed and analyzed using PASW Statistics 18.0. First, the duration of orthodontic treatment was 34.4% for college students, 36.9% for orthodontic treatment for less than 2 ~ 3 years, and 62.3% for internal motivation. The factors affecting the orthodontic treatment effect were the patient's cooperativeness and the hospital's scale was the lowest. The higher the grade level, the more the clinical experience and dental part-time experience were, the higher the correlation between dental specialty and dental hygienist's medical service, education and counseling was .521(P<0.001). The higher the level of cooperation, the higher the grade level, the more dental treatment and orthodontic treatment experience, the lower the level of family co - operation. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the importance of cooperation of orthodontic patients and to develop a strategic program for each individual patient.

This study examines the relationship between retirement preparation, positive psychological capital and successful aging for retirees and retirees, promotes successful aging of retirees and retirees, and increases positive psychological capital to increase desirable retirement time. I want to find a direction I can have. This study was conducted on 537 retirees and retirees who were preparing for retirement or retired from across the country as a structural relationship analysis, and the data collection period was from April 1 to April 20, 2019. As for the data, frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and structural relationship analysis were performed using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 9.0. As a result of the study, retirement preparation of retirees and retirees had a negative relationship with successful aging, and retirement readiness had a positive effect on self-acceptance of successful aging and autonomous life as mediators of resilience of positive psychological capital and self-efficacy. This means that the positive psychological factors of positive psychological capital have a positive effect on retirees and retirees who are struggling with anxiety about retirement preparations, enabling a successful retirement life. Therefore, when operating a retirement preparation program, it is necessary to organize and operate a program that can expand positive psychological capital.

Algorithms for estimating breeding values on several categorical data by using latent variables with threshold conception were developed and showed. Thresholds on each categorical trait were estimated by Newton’s method via gradients and Hessian matrix. This algorithm was developed by way of expansion of bivariate analysis provided by Quaas(2001). Breeding values on latent variables of categorical traits and observations on linear traits were estimated by preconditioned conjugate gradient(PCG) method, which was known having a property of fast convergence. Example was shown by simulated data with two linear traits and a categorical trait with four categories(CE=calving ease) and a dichotomous trait(SB=Still Birth) in threshold animal mixed model(TAMM). Breeding value estimates in TAMM were compared to those in linear animal mixed model (LAMM). As results, correlation estimates of breeding values to parameters were 0.91${\sim}$0.92 on CE and 0.87${\sim}$0.89 on SB in TAMM and 0.72~0.84 on CE and 0.59~0.70 on SB in LAMM. As conclusion, PCG method for estimating breeding values on several categorical traits with linear traits were feasible in TAMM.

Purpose: There is uncertainty if the vergence facility would provide clinically significant supplementary information to the fusional vergence measurements. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between vergence facility and fusional vergence in a group of symptomatic subjects. Methods: A total of 114 symptomatic subjects aged 9 to 13 years, who passed the vision screening test, participated in this study. Vergence facility was measured with 8$\Delta$ BI/8$\Delta$ BO flipper lenses and a suppression control target, the 20/30 letter line on Vectogram 9 (Bernell, USA). Near fusional vergence was measured with a single 20/30 vertical line target by Von Graefe technique. In order to avoid excessive convergence stimulation, negative fusional vergence (NFV) range (blur, break and recovery) was measured followed by positive fusional vergence (PFV) ranges (blur, break and recovery). Results: Pearson correlations were calculated and showed no correlations between vergence facility and any of fusional vergence measurements (p>0.05). Also, there were no significant differences of vergence facility measurements on the compensating vergence that passed or failed Sheard and Morgan's criterion for comfortable vision (p>0.05). Conclusions: There was no correlation between vergence facility and fusional vergence among symptomatic subjects. Hence, both vergence facility and fusional vergence should be assessed for those with binocular dysfunction in order to make an accurate diagnosis and management plan.

In this study, we wanted to analyze the causes of food poisoning and its major occurrence in September 2018 and analyze the relevance of the HACCP certification system to report the correlation. Based on three-year food poisoning cases and causative substances data, and big data on HACCP certification companies and food poisoning frequency, Hygiene 1: 'Salmonella would have spread through school food processing medium.' Hypothesis 2: The difference in the number of food poisoning cases in the last three years as the number of HACCP certifier increases, the number of food poisoning cases will be verified and the cause of food poisoning in September 2018. Studies show that the food poisoning in September 2018 was caused by salmonella bacteria and that outsourced food provided through school meals was the cause. It was also shown that the expansion of HACCP certification did not significantly contribute to the reduction of food poisoning. Therefore, the management operation measures were proposed as a solution to prevent salmonella and to become HACCP certification that could reduce food poisoning.
